Does anyone have a colicky baby?!

Question

Baby is 4 weeks old and I can’t soothe her. She is crying and crying and seems like her stomach is upset. I’ve tried massages, bicycle legs, gas drops, gripe water, a warm bath etc but she just cries and cries and I can’t put her down at all.

Answer

How much sleep is she getting? Most babies that age need only 45 to 60 minutes of awake time (including the time they’re eating) so when you start seeing those sleepy cues you need to get her swaddled up and starting for a nap. If her awake times are too long then you’re going to have a very overtired baby and it’s going to be harder and harder to get her to sleep and then the cycle continues. That is a huge problem with a lot of babies that are labeled “colicky”.

Answer

Probiotic and cut dairy if you're breast feeling

Answer

Try a daily probiotic. This happened with my first baby and it was life changing. She became a totally different baby. She was so much happier.
